My GAE application allows clients to upload files. The app implements the upload functionality using upload URLs generated by the BlobstoreService, configured to store the files in GCS (not the Blobstore). When my app receives the post-upload callback request from the BlobstoreService, I extract the filename of the uploaded file, and save it in an entity in the datastore, which allows later access to the file in GCS.
Since I'm not storing the files in the Blobstore, I'm surprised to find that each file stored in GCS has a corresponding BlobInfo entity in the datastore. Since these seem to be averaging about 2KB in size, it's turning out to be quite a bit of storage for something I'm not using. Is there a way to store files in GCS using the BlobstoreService's upload URL without having these BlobInfo entities getting created in the datastore? If not, do I actually need them (can I delete them)? -Andy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
